What happened to all of the threads in 2016 covering Richard Spencer's visit on campus? I remember it was a pretty big deal no only on campus and nationally, but on this forum as well.

for our own protection, all F16 threads from before a certain date have been memory holed.
Almost every thread from around mid-2020 and older were deleted. A few which were still active at that time such as the Mueller thread and the WuFlu thread were kept.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill
Staff can you confirm? It would be nice to be able to see how history unfolded. Isn't that the point to be able to search forever on the site... Or have we always been at war with eastasia?
What would be your motive for bringing it up. Nearly everyone here was against him and his philisophies (and ******* personality) but for his right to speak.zag213004 said:

Yes, it would be good to have more clarity on how certain topics get disappeared.

You can confirm yourself. Try finding a F16 with last post in 2018

How long do you want to ignore this user?
I was looking for an old, JeffHamilton politics post and forgot that staph had deleted a bunch of stuff.
The cancel wars. All from the dissatisfied. Tried to burn down TexAgs.

Did we ever get a reason for the deletions?
Was it even addressed?

It's still pinned at the top of the board
When a thread disappears I just assume it contained incriminating evidence against Hillary Clinton.

Yes, I discussed at the time. All threads on the Politics board not active (no new posts) as of a certain date were culled.

Gotcha. Was that just an F16 thing?
I would understand if so.

Correct
especially the glorious Qanon thread. i guess too much of it was coming true for the internet to handle.
The only thing with less truth than Q is a Biden press conference.

Hard to be active when they are locked.
I for one appreciate staff trying to keep me from being Guantanamoed.........even though it probably won't help.
Fight against the dictatorship of the federal bureaucracy!
